Playbill

Your app auditions for its App Store debut

Playbill screenshot

Playbill turns your app's built-in demo mode into polished, on-brand App Store screenshots, and keeps every shot you've ever taken in a library that syncs across your Macs. Capture your app's windows, compose them onto branded store tiles, and ship the exact pixels App Store Connect expects.

Features

  • Stage

    Demo mode with canned data and a forced appearance.

  • Capture

    Live windows photographed as Retina PNGs.

  • Compose

    Headline, subhead, your window, your colour.

  • Keep

    A library of every shot, synced over iCloud.

Why Playbill?

Screenshots are the miserable last mile of shipping an app: staging believable data, per-device pixel sizes, framing bezels, and re-doing all of it every time your UI changes. Playbill treats screenshots like view test fixtures: your app shows staged data, Playbill photographs it, and re-running the pipeline after a redesign regenerates the whole set identically.

Details

  • A Photos-style library of every screenshot, organized by app and platform
  • Native window capture: grant Screen Recording to Playbill, not your terminal
  • Pixel-exact store tiles: 2880×1800 Mac, iPhone and iPad sizes, device bezels included
  • One config file drives the whole set: change the copy, re-render, done
  • Command-line pipeline for CI and scripting, app for browsing and sharing
  • Your images stay in your iCloud: no accounts, no uploads to us, no analytics

Requirements

  • macOS 14.0 or later
  • Xcode or the Swift toolchain for the command-line pipeline
